Bank of Cyprus has received a prestigious and highly significant distinction, being named a “Most Honored Company” in Extel’s internationally renowned annual survey.
The Bank secured third place in the Emerging EMEA Financials category, covering the emerging markets of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, reaffirming its strong performance and the confidence it inspires in international markets.
This important recognition of Bank of Cyprus and its executives carries particular weight, as it is based directly on the votes of the market’s key participants themselves.
In addition to the Group’s overall recognition, the Bank’s Management Team also achieved outstanding results in the individual categories, standing out among senior executives from leading financial institutions.
Specifically, Eliza Leivadiotou, Executive Director of Finance, was named Best CFO, securing first place among independent buy-side analysts and second place in the sell-side rankings. This significant achievement highlights the high level of credibility, transparency, and technical expertise with which the Bank’s Management communicates its vision and financial performance.
At the same time, the efforts of the Investor Relations team were equally recognised, with Annita Pavlou, Manager, Strategy, Investor Relations & ESG, and the Bank of Cyprus Investor Relations Team both achieving second place in their respective categories (Best IR Professional and Best IR Team).
Recognition from the Investment Community Itself
The results were determined following a rigorous assessment by 454 leading portfolio managers, international analysts, and specialist researchers, representing 247 top financial institutions worldwide. This broad participation from the global investment community lends exceptional credibility to the distinction and confirms the high level of confidence that international institutional investors place in the Bank.
